Famous Women’s Closets



Carrie Bradshaw – Sex and the City closet

Is there any greater dream for a woman to have a closet that fulfills every need you could ever want? From storage and display to areas to get dressed and try on 400 different pair of shoes like Carrie Bradshaw from Sex in the City? Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but a well appointed closet is definitely a woman’s best friend! Here are some celebrities closets I ran across that are to die for.


Nicky Hilton’s closet

I absolutely love the see-through nature of Nicky Hilton’s closet. When trying to decide what you are going to wear, the ability to see everything at a glance is perfect! Now if you are one that doesn’t like to keep a tidy and organized closet, you may want to stay with a closed door wardrobe closet.


Eva Longoria closet

A closet isn’t made complete without an entire section for shoes, right ladies? Eva Longoria obviously knows this better than anyone and her show collection looks fabulous. I love the ladder reminiscent of a traditional office library. What a perfect way to optimize on vertical storage and be able to easily reach everything without needing assistance.

 
Mariah Carey’s (shoe store) closet

If you are going to live like a princess your shoe closet should obviously match your lifestyle right? Mariah Carey’s shoe store closet not only holds shoes and boots, but handbags and purses to accessorize all at the same time! I love the lavish details such as the gold inlaid floor, chandelier and pretty pink tufted chair for trying on that perfect pair of shoes.
 
 
Paul Abdul's closet

It looks like shoe closets are celebrity’s top choices for ensuring their wardrobe is complete. Take a look at Paula Abdul, Fergie, and Christina Aguilera’s shoe closets. Don’t they make you want to turn your entire bedroom into a shoe closet?

Choosing Color… Like a Professional

 
How much you enjoy staying in a room or the mood you feel when entering a room is largely based on the color and psychology behind the meaning of color. Your home can feel invigorating, soothing, romantic or welcoming with the choice of colors you choose throughout your home. Here are helpful tips for choosing colors for your interiors and the meaning behind the psychology of color.

The meaning of colors

RED:

The color red creates a quickening heartbeat and raised blood pressure that many people associate with romance and passion. Red is also said to increase appetite and is often used in restaurant dining rooms and areas where a lively conversation will take place.


 
GREEN: 

Green is considered one of the most relaxing and soothing colors because humans can relate it to nature. Often used in spas and master bathrooms, green is associated with the Earth, grass and beautiful foliage in our outdoor homes. Greens are also used in kitchens and living areas to bring familiarity and natural aesthetics into the home.


 
YELLOW:

For hallways and entryways yellow can be calming or can be invigorating depending on the shade used. Yellow brightens the human spirit and makes every room appear happier and welcoming. Use yellow as an accent to neutrals such as browns, grays, blacks and white for a sophisticated way to bring brightness to a room.



 
BLUE:

Blue is associated with the calming open sky and wide expansive water of the ocean and rivers. Blue is soothing and therefore works well in rooms that you want to relax and unwind from the day, the bathroom and bedroom are the best locations. While soothing, it shouldn’t be used in the kitchen as blue doesn’t occur naturally in many foods and can be an appetite suppressant.


 
The use of color throughout your home

Remember that colors come in an infinite variety of hues, colors and saturation. Therefore one color used in varying degrees in different rooms can give off results and moods differently. In rooms that will be used predominantly at night use colors that are clear and retain their strength and vibrancy so they don’t appear washed out in the evening. While in kitchens consider vibrant colors such as greens, yellows and reds.


 
Choosing colors for your home should be an enjoyable experience as you can literally create the mood for every space in your abode. You can choose soothing and relaxing in your private areas to vibrant and exhilarating in your public spaces of your home. The opportunity is yours to make a unique experience that only your home can offer. So go ahead, jump into the color selection in your home!
